Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi, I am a newbie, so I do not have much computer savvy, so here goes. I have been doing online surveys, most go ok, but I can not get some to load. I have Linux, Firefox3.0, if that helps any! When I click on "take survey" the left hand corner says Done, and the arrow is spinning, but the blocks on the right remain empty and will not load. Is it my browser? I would appreciate any help.

Hi guys, I got it, I got PCStitch!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone Tim, Jay73,Nexus, IndyGunFreak.
Nexus, all I had to do was follow your last post. It works like a charm!! Well, you won't be hearing from me for a while, I've got patterns to print, now you guys can get rid of your PCStitch.HA Thanks again to everyone, and if I can help any of you, just let me know, (or anyone else for that matter).

Thanks again, you guys have been so helpful. I hope everyone will realize...

I still think it is related to wine. when I click on the file to "open with" I open with "wine windows program loader". I have tried opening with another application, I get the same thing. I have wine selected in my add/remove. I have tried to download wine from winehq, and it tells wine already installed. I am so confused. I have done everything Tim suggest from the terminal, with no success. Where do we go from here???

I think you are right about Wine not being installed. When I pull the file into my terminal it says "Wine command not found. As per my other posts, I have wine appl. in my "Application/add remove and I have downloaded form the site. I am obviously not doing something right.
Thanks Nancy
